What's your Mount Rushmore of Kevin Bacon movies?
Hollowman, tremors, sleepers, Apollo 13 are the ones i remember fondly
Tremors! That movie is the right dish! Main course Fred Ward, Kevin Bacon. side of Reba- flavor of youth. Dash of humor- Spicy Horror.
Stir of echoes, Quicksilver, Tremors, and White water summer are my favorites of his.
A Few Good Men
definitely Stir Of Echoes
Kevin Bacon is fantastic, just as anticipated. I'm convinced that Sean Evans and the Hot Ones crew are some of the best production people ever. It's just a simple, beautifully done show. Sean always does crazy deep dive research and seems to bring the best out of every single guest.
He was fantastic in "American dad".
Seans always prepared. Him and nardwaur need to work together.
This is very well said
Agreed!!!
Well said
For a 64 year old man, he looks fantastic and exudes energy beyond his age. Props to you Kevin Bacon.
I didn't realize he's 64! You're right he has an energetic spirit and he looks amazing. Well done Kevin 👏🏾
Adrenochrome, if you know you know
Sylvester Stallone is gonna be 76
10 minutes older than dirt
@@micronut6082 you will get old too. sit down
I could not believe it when I saw the thumbnail. Kevin Bacon doesn’t do a lot of interviews. The fact that you got him, and his admiration for your questions just speaks to how amazing this show is. It’s so awesome how far Hot Ones has come!
I Totally Agree!!
His daughter has an awesome tv show as well
He did it to plug his show. I'm sure he had a good time but there was incentive
Kyra must anchor him.
@@D.A.-EspadaHe mentioned it for two seconds at the very end.
Kevin Bacon has finally reached the right age where he can convincingly portray James Gordon in a Batman film
For some reason I just can’t wrap my head around “James Gordon.” It took me a few reads to realize “oooohhhh…JIM Gordon!” I feel slow.
Hey, amazing idea there, man! Totally agree, never noticed it before though
Kevin Bacon is just awesome, always loved him as an actor and it's absolutely refreshing to see how chill he is in this interview.
He did incredible with Da Bomb! That’s gotta go down in Hot Ones Hall of Fame 🔥🔥
U like it
I was around when Animal House was first released. Never did i think then that Kevin would be a titan of the industry. Dude is a fantastic actor and an equally good human.
Wow is your life complete now?
Kind of a one trick pony but a lot of older woman seem to think he’s FANTASTIC
You gotta notice how Kevin has NEVER really been in the news or put himself out in the media. He and his wife are both Hollywood but they couldn't be more grounded. You can really feel that with him. He never feels to big for any moment
Yeah you're right. That didn't cross my mind but i can't think of any time he's been negatively talked about.
They both started their careers in an era that was very much ya either way out there in the tabloids or you live a private life, doing the job but also being able to step back to live the life ya choose.
He was def in the news when Madoff robbed him blind. 🤓
Well said.
"too" big
This guy handled those wings like a champ. No freak outs. Just sat there and kept the interview moving. That was fun.
siii.. no le hiso nada, ninguna salsa. jajaj genio
@@lucianbga3356what do you mean there definitely sauce on the wings not everyone has to scream and shouting and get out there chair
I love when they act that it's not that bad great video
Seriously one of the most composed guests on the show. Wow.
Dude, my top two people I wanted to see on hot ones was Kevin Bacon and Keanu Reeves! Halfway there!!!!👍
Keanu WOULD be cool to have! I can hear him now, "Dude! That's Hot!"🥵
For some reason when I first read that I saw "Christopher Reeve" and almost said "But he's dead......" 🤣🤣.
I could've sworn Keanu Reeves was on here then I find that episode doesn't exist.
My God Keanu would be amazing
I dont see Neo showing up, you cant just dodge capsaicin.
Sean is casually eating wings with ACTUAL living legends. This is crazy. Congrats on this show dude, for real.
This is dude is a legend ?
@@pincludestudio5562 yes, yes he is lol
Facts
@@pincludestudio5562 people will continue coming back to these interviews for years. Sean really created something here. Its refreshing to know someones a legend while theyre still in their prime
@@pincludestudio5562 that’s rich coming from a dude boxing ladies in bikinis in vr 🤣🤣
Whenever I think of Kevin Bacon, I think of Tremors. I know some may call it a B-movie, but I find it to just be the quintessential "popcorn movie", it is a perfect mix between comedy and horror and it's one of those movies that makes you feel like you had a really good time watching it and asks for very little in return.
Tremors is one of my to go movie when nothing else is on tv
So True, Tremors is a great movie!
Graboids!
Tremors is an ultimate classic he should always be proud of.
I remember as a prepubescent boy watching the scene with the barbed wire and the pants and feeling some kinda way.
If anyone can pull Kevin into the public spotlight it's Sean, and he did it. Also, and off topic, but for some reason it made me think that Sean should get Ethan Hawke on here. He's got the same vibes as Kevin. jmo
Ethan Hawke would be perfect for this kind of show because he seems like he really hates celebrity culture and everything the normal late night shows are about.
Kevin bacon and Ethan hawke look similar. Almost like brothers
Crazy! I was thinking the same thing! Going to see The Black Phone today :) Love Ethan Hawke! Also love Kevin Bacon!
Lol first thing I thought of was that they need to get Ethan Hawke on there as well
Such a great point. Ethan Hawke would be incredible on here because he's such a diverse talent. He's written four books, stage plays, movies and much more.
Never thought I'd see someone like Kevin Bacon do this show. He seems like such a cool dude. I'd love to just sit down with him and listen to whatever he had to tell me. I'd take in whatever, honestly.
Super sad fact he lost $50,000,000 when Bernie Maddof’s Ponzi scheme collapsed Terrible that would happen to Kevin and his family as he seems like a great guy
Nice
We grew up with Bob hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs. Now there’s No Hope, no Cash and no Jobs. Protect Kevin Bacon at all costs! He’s a great guy.
@Dr. Elmer Hartman That IS what she said!
What, they can't have cool dudes on Hot Ones?
Always felt like Kevin Bacon was one of the chillest, 'real' people in Hollywood and this confirms it
RIIIGHT!!!!!!!
Agreed.
Chillest isn't a word, nor is calling someone "chill" correct.
@@mantistoboggan5171 🤏
@@mantistoboggan5171 well you're certainly not.
The part at the end, he really did appreciate the well thought out questions Sean has. What a good dude.
It's really impossible to understate how good of an interviewer Sean is. When he asked about how Kevin's classical training clashed with Hollywood reality I just couldn's stop thinking about how I wouldn't hear a question like that anywhere else
Overstate. It’s impossible to overstate. As in, you can’t say enough good things, he’s that good.
I know it’s always said that Sean asks great questions but I never get tired of seeing guests so baffled by just HOW GOOD they are. It must be so refreshing for them to not answer the same old questions, especially from Kevin bacons vast experience
Totally agree... It's one of the things that makes this show, great in my opinion.
If you like seeing people shocked by what an interviewer knows, look up some Nardwuar montages. He’s the GOAT of shocking people with the obscure things he knows about them.
Everyone who's ever been on Hot Ones has now had their degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon lowered to 2
so true
Hate to be a bother but What does this mean?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was already 1 for me. Two of my friends met him backstage at Leno.
@@jeffpesos420 it's a reference to 6 degrees of separation. Can you connect Kevin bacon to another actor through 6 film roles or less. The MCU had shrunk the degrees immensely haha
Outside the wings, it's amazing how much the guest appreciate the actual interview. They clearly hate the same old stuff they always answer. These interviews are very eye opening to them and brings out their genuine personalities. I love it.
The composure this man sustains throughout the challenge is remarkable.
They always talk about how nice Keanu is, but Kevin just as cool and nice. Everytime I see him he's so engaging and pleasurable to watch. He's just chill. Good episode.
Yeah I feel like Kevin became a meme and Keanu became beloved??
They all eat babies
@@kennedytaylor4732 Keanu is also kind of a meme tbh, but affectionately so
He’s also a far better actor
@@imacm3573 but most of the time, we watch Keanu for the GUN-FU.. Not his acting, Keanu is a character actor
A lot of these interviews just confirm how much i like some of these actors. Hearing them just speak and cuss like normal people is always refreshing.
I’m sure you might not like a lot them if you saw how they were off camera
I've always loved the sound of Kevin Bacon 's voice and he is a amazing actor.
Kevin Bacon effortlessly crushes everything he does, including this
I'm legitimately impressed. I didn't expect him to handle this so well. He was relatively casual about it. Props to Kevin bacon. Dude is badass!
Lol dude was like “yeah, really hot” continues talking like nothing happened.
Didn't see a single bead of sweat or tear. He nailed those wings!
I've got 2 words for you: small bites
@@eleternopresente8 Yeah, I find it very disappointing when guests barely touch the wings. They don't need to completely finish each one, but jeez, at least take a proper bite.
@@eleternopresente8 He took one on da bomb for sure and said something about it, then on the very next wing took quite a respectable sized bite. Go back and check it out. I have nothing but respect that he called HIMSELF out on it and then course corrected. Kevin Bacon is an absolute legend for many, many reasons. Was great to see an interview with him, especially with such interesting questions. He's a pretty private guy, doesn't run the circuit often at all.
What's always struck me about Kevin is how engaging a storyteller he is.
Right? I loved the story he told about the shoes. He's a keen observer and intelligent.
I would sit and listen to him and his wife talk about their lives together and their careers.
His deliberateness in how he speaks is fantastic.
.. and he does voices. The best kind of storyteller.
Spent the last 40 years reading scripts and lines.
I cannot tell you the amount of money I would have paid to see Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward do this show as a duo. Grew up with the original Tremors, was terrified by Old Fred being pulled under, was absolutely mesmerized by Finn Carter losing her jeans to some barbed wire, and was in absolute awe of the armory of Reba McEntire and Michael Gross. Legendary film.
Dude tremors is one of my all time favorite movies. Amazing movie. Sparked my love of creature Features for sure!
RIP Fred❤️
RIP Fred, i miss em too
Men after knowing each other for 10 mins: 'i love you man' I love that about them😂
The fact that so many guests give Sean recognition for how great of an interviewer he is should be proof enough that Sean should be conducting interviews both here and across many other medias. He should have multiple podcasts, multiple interview series, he's incredible
I think he should just keep doing exactly what he's doing right now, don't spread himself thin into too many projects. When you have something working this well that people absolutely love.... don't change it! :)
I wanna hear Sean on NPR
i think a lot of it is the guests don't expect such great questions from a show where you eat spicy wings
@@tracerjames51 Yeah it's oddly highbrow for it's format.
He reminds me of the Talking Dead guy.
Love the fact that when asked the difference between men and women reactions, Sean automatically pointed out that none of the women guests had tapped out! Such an awesome fact and response!
I may be misremembering but didn't Taraji Henson tap out?
@@Jdaddy2000 maybe. I haven’t watch all the episodes yet so I was taking Sean’s word for it.
Taraji tapped at the bomb. He’s just wrong
Taraji did tap out
@@Jdaddy2000 Didn't Billie Eilish also tap out? Or am I remembering that wrong?
I cannot say enough. That Sean Evans really speaks for the people. He makes everyone feel like they themselves are sitting down with y’all for these inside questions. And takes it to a whole new level. It feels like you are eating hot wings with your favorite artists, actors, famous or not. Creators and Idols.
This man is a PHENOMENAL actor
Looks like Bacon really felt and appreciated that he was being researched as a real person on a personal level not just the actor!!
At the same time, it seems like he appreciated being questioned about the lesser known acts of his career, as well as the more abstract questions about his acting style in general.
Kevin Bacon has to be the single most composed guest ever on this show. Even with just the nibble on Da Bomb, I am seriously impressed.
Gary Vee
@Cory Poole guess u never saw taker or Steve o interview? They no sold da bomb and acted like nothing was wrong
Charlize Theron and Halle Berry were both incredible too.
Dude Lorde. I saw the interview the other day and she was composed from the beggining to the end.
Met Kevin a couple years ago when he came into the emergency vet hospital i worked at with his dog Lily. He was a very nice guy. Last week Lily crossed the rainbow bridge and I feel for him and his family. I know how much she meant to him.
Kevin comes across as a grateful and good man … refreshingly sincere and cool .. well done ✨
This is honestly one of the better interviews. They are all always great, but this really shows why Sean is such a great interviewer. Also, Kevin totally handled Da Bomb better than many. He is up there with Lorde! haha
He barely took a nibble out of it, smh.
That was a mouse-bite.
@@andrewl5272 - I'll be anticipating your turn on the show. Let's see how you do.

@@PeterPan-gp4ru oh stop it! Can’t you just enjoy something without making it about politics? It’s so exhausting to put that much energy into that
Roger that bro
Kevin Bacon is an underlooked gem Hollywood let get past their radar. I absolutely love his performances, my personal favorite movie of his is Tremors.
Tremors is definitely up there, but Death Sentence and Balto (the first one, mainly for nostalgia since it was my favorite growing up) are pretty up there as well
I watched that movie at least 8 times
I was just thinking that that's my favorite of his. So much fun and my mom, who doesn't speak English, enjoyed it just as much. The humor translates with the acting. Love, love, love.
Personal favourite is stir of echoes
i love how all of the guest appreciate the research Sean does in the interview. Its not the usual but it is insightful that you learn some new things from his guests
Kevin so eloquently described the truth of Sean’s well-researched questions. Imagine being famous and always having to answer the same boring questions. Sean should take over Jimmy Kimmell’s show.
He would be the best late-night host, but network control might take the best out of him. He is better than late-night talk shows.
why take over. just let Sean have this amazing empire he's help build on KZhead.
@@autumnatic He's good but he's no Craig Ferguson.
@@MrVanderwel It's almost unfair to hold anyone on the American talk show scene up to Ferguson. There had never been anyone like him and there will never be anyone like him. He did something I don't know if anyone else could even follow if they wanted to.
FOR REAL!!!
Kevin is just a dude-in the best possible way. Calm, cool, collected. Comfortable in his own skin. Someone you’d just like to spend time. Hot Ones interviews are some of the very best in the entertainment business.
very well put Kathleen
Agreed 100%
Hello Kathleen, how are you doing? I guess you are a big fan of Kevin....I have been watching his movies for a long time now
City on a Hill is totally binge worthy...Bacon does not disappoint.
So hard to find anyone else that has seen it but I sing it's praises and it is consistently brilliant.
Wow, he's so pleasant and chill... I never knew... never seen him in interviews. This was one of my favourite episodes. I don't even know how to describe how pleasant it was to watch this.
Kevin Bacon doesn't really do a lot of interviews! Goes to show how much faith celebs have in this show
Kevin is one of those actors that pulls and holds your attention whenever he's on screen. Can't wait to watch this tonight :)
He's one of those rare actors who can play a great hero or great villain.
This show wouldn't have lasted this long if it was just celebrities eating hot wings. Sean asking them great questions and them responding is what makes it great. Other celebrities see that and it makes them willing to come on too
They get paid to be on the show too
@@RyanREAX either way, theres a reason these legendary people are coming on to a youtube talk show. that’s because of Seans clear talent as an interviewer that leaves his guests feeling like they just went on a lunch date with an old friend.
@@mittsmittsy9683 sean is a sellout. Swearing and saying anything to cater to them and the viewers.. its all a mask to “be cool” and accepted
@@RyanREAX no they don’t 😭
I think if you like the actor, you will love the episode. I think allowing it to be interrupted by food banter just helps a viewer to process the industry story.
Man I love Kevin Bacon. Born in ‘90, Tremors is still one of my top 5; I used to watch it with my grandfather who raised me, whom I just recently lost to cancer and I really wish I could’ve seen his face watching this and learning that KB is actually fkin awesome.
So sorry 😢for your recent 😢loss
I'm so happy that Kevin Bacon talked about the filming of Apollo 13! It is a marvellous movie made with such care and dedication and Bacon's roll in it is awe inspiring!
I've seen that movie so many times. One of my favorites
Kevin Bacon is like that uncle you never had, but you wish you did. What an awesome, wholesome human being.
Kevin is such a pro; delivered some very diplomatic and professional answers, as you'd expect. Dropped his guard at the end there and I appreciated his candor, even as you could tell he was internally grappling with "should I throw all other interviews under the bus?!". Instant classic episode for me.
Well said.
Fake it till you make it :^)
My man Kevin Beacon here I love your character in Stir of Echoes, your the best!
And that's why he gets the best in the biz. Sean is the best interviewer. Well deserved success to you, Sean and crew.
I just love hearing how surprised some guests are at Sean's questions. Speaks highly to the dedication and ability that Sean and the team present. Well done!
Thought this was Jim Carey
A-list celebrities that have been through 1000+interviews all say the same about Sean. Master at his craft.
he's not nardwuar level but he does quite well
@@theclownofclowns nobody will ever be Nardwaur status! He’s the GOAT
They dig deep into the guests' CVs, including pre-fame stuff. I'm assuming they've built up a network of Hollywood contacts who know how to get hold of the people with this obscure knowledge
Kevin Bacon definitely showed the classic "I'm going to get interviewed... again." to "I love you man!" journey through the wings of death.
Kevin captures Ron Howard so well in the short impression of him that he does here.
That line in Mystic River where he goes "yeah I saw his hand" was so perfectly delivered!! Great actor!!
Nothing i can say that has not been already said: simply the highest quality talkshow there is. Plus it has wings.
@aswer huio really really good production team they have. And he is such a great interviewer. Always comes prepared and always dives deep
THANK YOU for not asking him about "6 Degrees"! It sounds like he appreciated it as well. I am sure that it was a conscience decision by you and your team! You all continue to impress the masses.
What's that?

@@BJDevil20 thats not it at all...its more intense afaik - ANYONE you know, knows a person, that knows a person, etc (6 times) that knows kevin bacon...a really weird concept
Love this format for legendary actors like this, really enjoy the non-acting questions and the stories don’t disappoint.
Love Kevin Bacon and how humble he is. Such a cool guy.
Kevin Bacon is simultaneously the most ultra giga famous, and most down-to-earth dude ever. Incredible interview.
Kevin is a good dude. Actually sat next to him at a Weird Al concert in NYC in 2000. Very nice guy and took time to chat with people before the show began.
Amazing how Sean's questions + hot wings can win over guests. Seemed like Mr. Bacon didn't necessarily want to be there at the beginning but you could tell he was having fun at the end. This method of interview is beautiful.
That ending post shoot part is perfect, shows humility and appreciation for how much time and effort the team put in!
It's always the thing that seems to get the guests excited to talk about things they are actually passionate about.
One of those rare Hollyweird actor types who seems to not have allowed the fame to affect him overmuch, if at all. I'd say he's one of the most real, relaxed, poised, and mature people you've had on this show to date.
Your production team may be one of the best around. I am over the moon that you guys are are adding so much heart to the faces we grew up loving and enjoying! You give us an opportunity to eat with the titans of entertainment! 🙏
Oh, and kb might be one of the coolest people. Period.
Once again....a killer episode. Kevin Bacon rules, and still looks PhillyTASTIC at 64!! Well done Sean and crew!
His off the cuff voice impressions are phenomenal. Such a talented legend of entertainment.
Man, Sean and this show have come a long way. He's interviewing legends now.
I wish he'd still interview the smaller youtubers and other artists too though, I really miss that
Bacon and Sedgwick are two of my favorite actors and one of the best Hollywood couples.
As always, the pride I feel as a viewer for the praise they get from a guest for the absurdly well researched and thoughtful interview questions... Just the best
When he said "She's Having A Baby" about soundtracks, I screamed "YES" and fist punched the air. I love that movie so much!
Same! Favorite movie of mine with him in it.
This Woman's Work always got 2 me
One of my all time fave movies!!!
Kate Bush. Enough said.
IRS records released that whole soundtrack. Personally curated by John Hughes, who always used great music in his films.
Making the guest being interviewed feel glad for the interview just for the sake of talking even though they are under immense pain from the flaming wings... A gift
It would be cool to have his wife do this. Love both of them as actors.
Without a doubt that was the classiest Hot Ones episode. Kevin Bacon is the chillest dude on the planet.
The compliment he gave at the end of this couldn't be more of a glowing endorsement of how great this show is
I know the Oscars are a joke and all, but the fact that this man doesnt have a single Oscar nomination to his name seems crazy to me
Another reason why its a joke.
I like Bacon but what role as he had that he should have been nominated? I can't think of one.

Kevin seems like such a salt of the earth guy. Just straight up and honest.
Real one
Kevin Bacon's impression of his country corn-fed rescuer is hilarious! And accurate.
I met this guy while traveling in the road at a rest area once. He was very down to earth.
Sean looking like he thinks he's still dreaming in the intro is everything I needed right now.
Hello Kimberly, how are you doing today ?
At this point it’s odd to NOT hear “how did you know that/wow your research is amazing” in every episode. The guest profile is also outrageous, so many interesting talents from different projects
only interviewer besides nardwuar to get that reaction every single time
All Hot Ones fans know that Sean is THE BEST interviewer in pop culture. I'm sure he makes a decent living, but no doubt it's a fraction of what much, much, much less talented interviewers/hosts make on the big networks - hacks like Kimmel and Fallon. I really hope Sean gets his due rewards, because this man is of extraordinary talent.
Late night shows are not only about interviewing but also about entertaining through jokes, banter, monologue, specials, and games (which I personally hate). Event though I love Sean for his interview skills, he never struck me as a „funny“ guy. To be honest, neither does Fallon, Kimmel, or Corden. But I can‘t imagine Sean as a light night talk show host at all and, tbh, I think that‘s also not what he aspires to.
You can praise Sean without tearing down others. It’s not necessary. Also Fallon/Kimmel and Sean are different types of interviewers. One may not be for you, but neither is inherently wrong or worse.
@@lolangelvigil I'm not "tearing down others." I'm expressing an opinion about multiple personalities. It's really a very common thing - to compare and contrast. Sean conducts interviews that focus on his guests, very similar to how giants like Johnny Carson did. These types of hosts go to great lengths to minimize their views, biases, even their presence. But hosts such as Fallon and Kimmel very often emphasize THEIR views, biases, and presence. Let me ask you this: If you had to bet $1000, what would you say Johnny Carson's political affiliation was? What about Sean? You don't know, do you? You'd have to guess. Now...Let me ask you this: What about the political affiliation of Fallon and Kimmel? If you say "I have no idea" you're either lying or dangerously naive. Both of them have made their views VERY obvious, as has Seth Myers, not to mention Steve Colbert. To you that might be fine. To me it has no place in late-night entertainment. That's why I LIKE hosts like Sean and very much DISLIKE self-important hosts like the others I've mentioned. Is that "tearing them down?" Maybe. I really don't care. They should get out of late night "entertainment" and go to work for MSNBC or CNN.
@@jakemitchell1671 Ah so you’re basing this on disagreeing with their politics and not their actual talent. Got it.
Nardwar has entered the chat
I was in Telling Lies in America with Kevin Bacon when I was a little kid! They filmed it at my house. He was an awesome dude and I got to have dinner with him and be in a couple of scenes as an extra.
Footloose is still one of my favs ever!!! I've watched it more than 20 times and I dont get tired of it! The party still gives me chills !! I love Kevin...
His performance in Tremors as Valentine is my absolute favorite. "Who died and made you Einstein?"
No mention of that ir the Death of Fred Ward AKA Earl
Love when OG actors come on the show. Kevin is up there with Keanu - class act.
This was a fantastic interview Sean- Kevin Bacon has been one of my all time favourite actors since Footloose and Hollow Man amongst a conglomerate of other films. He is so down to earth, chilled and enigmatic plus a very versatile actor.
SEAN IS KING OF INTERVIEWING!
What a cool guy. Some episodes are a perfect length but the Q&A today could have gone on for hours and I wouldn't get bored listening.
Sean: "We've never had a woman tap out on this show". Taraji P. Henson: "My bodyguard's gonna eat these wings for me"
thank you, this came to my mind once he said that, but I couldn't remember her name.
Was just about to post this lol.
I just watched her episode yesterday 😜🤣
I WILL give props to what he was trying to say. Personally, I've seen the women take it more badass than the dudes 🤘
The best interviewer team ever. No nonsense and just having fun. Kudos First We Feast!
That's probably the most chilled episode I've watched 😎
Kevin nailed this interview. I feel like this show is a good litmus test for which celebrities are actually good people.
Who are the bad people?
@@michaelgreene4816 DJ Khaled
@@raybergstrom Hardly need a litmus test for that
You'd figure seeing how successful and respectful this show is, interviewers would follow suit. It's a shame how the media predominantly focuses on the negative agenda. Way to go Sean, keep up the good work.
I can understand the push for "negative" coverage, as despicable as it is. It makes some sense from a ratings and trying to "make a splash". But what the guests really get tired of is the completely bland and banal approach they have to deal with 90%+ of the time. They'll do press tours and answer the same 10 questions, 30 times a day for weeks. It's the worst part of the job, I imagine. Sean was solving for a problem, as he's said many times. The wings are only a small part of it. The real secret sauce consists of well-researched questions that make for an interesting discussion.
What is this in reference to?
Well to be fair he and his wife made their political commercial contributing to the Trump bashing ban wagon and that was on them. I don’t see them doing anything of the sort on Biden even considering the laundry list of disasters were now facing. Makes you wonder why right?
@@icantthinkofaname4265 the issue Sean talks about often - how celebrity interviews are boring. When actors go on press tours for their material, they sit in rooms and parades of entertainment journalists get their 15 minutes, and they all pretty much ask the exact same questions. Very little research or interest in anything other than getting their blurb. It's exhausting to do 20 or 30 radio shows in a row, being asked the same things over and over again. And with ET-style shows and podcasts, dealing with the same thing.

love how he is in an interview, such a genuine guy
As someone who loves hearing people's stories, and learning from their experiences, I would love to sit down and interview Sean. I have so many questions about how he got where he's at, how he does what he does, and some of his personal all-time stories. I'd love to see a reverse Hot Ones style interview where Sean gets these great questions.
